Silver Wells, an evening based on the newly released album of the same name, covering songs made famous by Ronee Blakley, Kate Bush, Leonard Cohen, Tracy Chapman, Joni Mitchell, Mark Eitzel and Brecht & Weill, among others.

BACKSTAGE, July 15, 22 at 5PM:

On Sundays at 5pm, the theatre district is alive and abuzz with scores of hardworking actors who've just finished their workweeks with that final matinee before their day off. "Backstage" is a weekly Sunday evening event, from 5 – 7 p.m., where the theatre community can convene to relax and unwind - have a cocktail, enjoy the food of Chef Andre Marrero, and maybe get up and sing. This casual, social evening is a chance for us to welcome the theatre community for a few hours of fun and frolic at the end of an 8-show week. "Backstage" is hosted by two of Broadway's funniest talents - Ann Harada (Smash, Avenue Q, Seussical, 9 to 5) and Susie Mosher (Hairspray), who'll keep the evening rolling along with special guest performers and wise and witty repartee from the world of The Great White Way.

There are only three ore chances to catch New York favorite Jackie Hoffman as continues her string of Sunday night performances at Below through July. The New York Post raves "Her self-deprecation knows no bounds! She kvetches. She delivers a medley of her musical contributions to the Broadway shows Hairspray, Xanadu and The Addams Family. A clever show!" According to Jackie, "I'm thrilled to be back underground where I belong!"

Join Jamie on July 16 when her guests will be Drama Desk and MAC Award nominated actress Christina Bianco (Newsical The Musical); one of the country's most popular standup comedians, Emmy Award winner Kevin Meaney; multi-platinum award winning recording artist and songwriter David Pomeranz; and original "Jersey Boys" cast member (Bob Gaudio role) and heart-throb concert singer Daniel Reichard.

The huge cast of brilliant actor/singers, lunatic musicians and legendary special guests will offer you an evening where searing character studies meet drunken back room sing-alongs. This is no mere concert. This is a great, big, howling love-letter to passionate musical theater at its best and bloodiest. Grease up your kazoo, fill your whiskey glass and stay for a while. It's going to be a helluva night.
